Abstract:
A system for determining when a vehicle has learned a route is provided. The system includes at least one camera configured to capture image data of an external environment, a processor and a memory module storing one or more processor-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the system to: generate one or more predictions about objects in the external environment as the vehicle proceeds along the route based on the image data, determine a prediction error based on an accuracy of the one or more predictions, determine a confidence level for the route based on the prediction error, and determine that the vehicle has learned the route in response to the confidence level exceeding a confidence level threshold.
